Got mine from a motorbike shop. Woman in there was really cool with me and went through everything to ensure I didn't just walk out with a nice looking helmet but one that was a proper fit and would do its job should the worst happen.

How much you looking to spend?

I wear nothing but Arai personally.

Arai or Shoei are top brands and you'll generally find one will suit the shape of your head more than the other

As said, wander down to your local bike shop and try a few on

i want full face, as will save your face and teeth if the worst happens.

i know some stickers and paints react with the plastics used to make the helmets years ago, and can make them weaker.

but not sure if still do now days.
